DMARDs
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) help slow or stop progression of RA. The most common DMARD used to treat rheumatoid arthritis is methotrexate. Other DMARDs include Arava, Azulfidine, Cytoxan, Imuran, Neoral, and Plaquenil.
In rheumatoid arthritis, an overactive immune system targets joints and other areas of the body. DMARDs work to suppress the immune system. However, they aren’t selective in their targets. Thus, they decrease the immune system overall and increase the likelihood of catching some infections.
DMARDs, particularly methotrexate, have produced dramatic improvements in severe rheumatoid arthritis and can help preserve joint function.
Biologics
The newest and most effective treatments for rheumatoid arthritis are biologics. Biologics are genetically engineered proteins. They are designed to inhibit specific components of the immune system that play a pivotal role in inflammation, a key component in rheumatoid arthritis.
Biologics are usually used when other drugs have failed to stop the inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis. Biologics may slow or even stop RA progression.
TNF blockers help to reduce pain and joint damage by blocking an inflammatory protein called tumor necrosis factor (TNF). For some patients, TNF blockers stop the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Recent studies have shown benefits when TNF blockers are combined with methotrexate. TNF blockers include Enbrel, Humira, Remicade, Cimzia, and Simponi.
Other biologics suppress different areas of the immune system and include Actemra, Kineret, Orencia, and Rituxan.
Since biologics suppress the immune system, they also increase the risk of infection. Severe infections have been reported with biologics.
วันนี้ ต้อง ไปหาคนไข้ถึงบ้าน คนไข้ที่ชอบดื่ม สุรา หมอแม่ยิง มัก รังเกียจ
แต่ เขา คือคนป่วย จากปัญหาที่ไม่ได้ยาอย่างเหมาะสม ใน RA
ไปมาแล้ว คนไข้ น่าสงสารมาก
คนไข้ไม่ยอม มาขอใบ refer
คนไข้ ยอมมา ขอ refer แล้ว
